9. A long-term trend within the EU
If the EU strengthens and becomes more unified, the need for self-defence that once drove regions to combine into nation states diminishes. Europe could see a wave of devolution back to regions.

Long ago, various people argued that the long-term goal should be "a Europe of the regions" rather than "a Europe of the nations". That may happen naturally.
